Things are not running smoothly in the team. An offer to a prospective customer has not been sent out, because Colleague A was sure that Colleague B had already done that. Colleague C has dedicated many hours of work to editing a PowerPoint presentation, until Colleague D is telling her that she is working on an old version and in the meantime, important data have changed.

With any project there are bound to be sticking points, and in general, the more complex a project is the more error-prone it is. Even with the most detailed project plan, project managers need to be prepared both for something unexpected to happen and something planned not to happen. An effective risk management alongside the regular project monitoring plan will help you minimize the impact of uncertain project events.

We are excited to welcome Jim and David to our InLoox consulting team in San Francisco. They both joined us in September 2013 and support our clients in finding the best project solution for them, implementation, technical support and training.
